Our knowledgeable facilitators will guide you through the basics and answer any questions you may have along the way. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to learn. We look forward to seeing you there! \nRegister Online \nDate: 10 sessions beginning on Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025\nTime: 7:45 – 9:00 pm\nClass Fee: $60 \nNote: In-person class size limited to 15 people. \nThe main book that will be used for the challenge will be Basics of Buddhism Workbook. This workbook is an introductory guide designed to help individuals explore Buddhist teachings\, practices\, and wisdom. It serves as a companion for cultivating mindfulness\, compassion\, and inner peace. Structured to encourage reflection and practical application\, the workbook advises users to engage deeply with each section through journaling\, setting intentions\, and integrating insights into daily life. \nKey chapters cover foundational topics such as the life of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)\, his enlightenment\, and the Four Noble Truths. Core teachings include the Eightfold Path\, the Three Marks of Existence (impermanence\, suffering\, non-self)\, meditation techniques\, the Five Precepts (ethical guidelines)\, and concepts of karma and rebirth. It explores major traditions (Theravāda\, Mahāyāna\, Vajrayāna)\, modern adaptations like Secular and Engaged Buddhism\, and the evolving role of women in Buddhist practice. The final sections focus on applying Buddhist principles—compassion\, wisdom\, and mindfulness—to everyday activities\, alongside resources for further study. \nEmphasizing a balance of theory and practice\, the workbook blends traditional doctrines with contemporary relevance\, making it a comprehensive yet accessible tool for both newcomers and those deepening their understanding of Buddhism. \nWednesday Online Discussions beginning June 18th\nParticipants will meet either in-person or online Wednesdays at 7:45 pm to discuss the week’s topic. There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussion about the practice that will include actions that can be applied to daily life/practice.
